Hawk Blogger Podcast: Updated Thinking On QB Competition

It was just a few days ago that I had boldly predicted Tarvaris Jackson’s time on the Seahawks roster was winding down. Some new information has come to light that has me not only questioning that prediction, but whether Matt Flynn will be the starter.

I don’t have time for a lengthy article today, so I recorded a podcast on the drive to work.

If you’d like to copy it to your iPod/iPhone, you’ll need to access the click on your device in iTunes once you connect it to the computer, and access the Podcasts tab. The rest should be pretty clear.

Hawkman says-I pray your wrong. If Tjax is the starter we are going to be in for another long season offensively. It is MORE than obvious that he does not read Defenses well nor quickly Like a vet /starter needs to. He appears in watching the games Live /and Tv that his vision is basically half the field. Listening to Brock Huard (who is watching live alot @ OTA's ) his opinion is that MF is definately in the lead for the job. Whether Tjax has 50 starts or not should not matter at this point , he has been in this same system for SEVEN years and still looked like a DEER in headlights at times. It is time to move on , one way or another!!!!

Great podcast!It's clear that Tarvaris made huge strides as the offense grew as a whole in the second half of last season.With a full offseason, that progress will continue to flourish. The guy has developed a great chemistry with his wide receivers and the team enjoys him and has faith in him as their quarterback.What's more to like?And this isn't necessarily indicative of Flynn's flaws. It's as you said, he hasn't done enough to separate himself from Tarvaris and that bodes well for Tarvars … and the Hawks.

Even "Big Balls Pete" has got to think real hard before trotting TJ out as the starter with Flynn and Wilson on the roster.The first time TJ throws the ball away on 4th down or takes multiple sacks on a late scoring drive the walls will come down at Qwest field.
